![]() The widely diverse forms and ideas on view suggest that feminist art is not limited to a specific look or reading.Īmong the works on view are Carrie Mae Weems’s Untitled (Man Smoking/Malcolm X), 1990, which explores human experience from the vantage point of an African American female subject a “femmage” painting by Miriam Schapiro titled Agony in the Garden that pays homage to Frida Kahlo a haunting print by Kara Walker of a self-empowered heroine from the American antebellum South and a “bunny” sculpture by Nayland Blake that challenges constructions of masculinity. Most of the paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and videos in the exhibition are by self-declared feminists and artists of later generations working within the historic framework of feminist art. The exhibition title refers to the idea of the “master’s house” from two perspectives: the museum as the historical domain of male artists and professed masters of art history, and the house as the supposed proper province of women. ![]() Burning Down the House: Building a Feminist Art Collection is an exhibition of nearly fifty works focusing on recent acquisitions and major loans, including works by artists such as Kiki Smith, Tracey Emin, Tracey Moffatt, and Lorna Simpson. ![]()
